Specialising in South Indian Pure Vegetarian Food
At Pappu Dosa, we serve up the bold, authentic taste of South Indian street food – right here in Bristol. Our dosas are made fresh from scratch, using traditional recipes and quality ingredients to deliver crispy perfection and rich, vibrant flavours every time.
Founded in 2020 by Tim Darling – a British chef with a deep passion for Indian cuisine – Pappu Dosa began as a humble food truck in North Bristol. With a commitment to authenticity and flavour, Tim quickly built a loyal, largely Indian customer base, regularly selling out and earning a strong local reputation.
What started small has grown into two bustling locations, with a dedicated team preparing a wide menu of freshly made, authentic South Indian dishes seven days a week. At Pappu Dosa, great taste, quality, and value are at the heart of everything we do.
Passion for Authentic Indian Flavour
We strive for culinary excellence in a casual, welcoming setting – creating spaces where everyone can enjoy affordable, delicious South Indian vegetarian food that tastes just like it does in India.
Our kitchens are led by skilled chefs who are given the platform to specialise, grow, and preserve the traditional art of authentic Indian cookery.
Through food, we aim to celebrate and share real Indian culture in the UK – bringing its rich flavours and heritage to a wider audience.
Above all, our mission is to give you the best experience possible, every single time.
